About the Archive
Why this site exists, and how you can help.
Henderson NV Tales began as a Facebook page — a place for neighbors to swap memories of old Henderson, from the magnesium plant days to the first suburban boom. But timelines are fleeting, and some stories deserve more room than a post allows.
This site is the long-form annex. Here, tales can stretch out, photographs can be preserved at full resolution, and documents like PDFs, maps, and spreadsheets can be stored and referenced without the limits of social media.
Everything here is community-driven. If you have a story, a photo, or a document that belongs in the archive, join the conversation on Facebook.
